Conclusion
There is strong evidence that an arms-length investment promotion agency for Wales would have a positive impact on attracting inward investment into Wales. The Committee recognises that establishing an investment promotion agency for Wales is in the gift of the Welsh Government. However, should the Welsh Government choose to do so, the agency must co-ordinate with the UK Government to have the greatest impact on delivering inward investment for Wales. This Committee believes that establishing an investment agency would signal to investors that Wales is open for business, improve investors’ experience of investing in Wales, and provide the tools to tackle the challenges that face investment promotion in Wales. (Conclusion, Paragraph 82)
